Julio Cesar Chavez Sr

Julio Cesar Chavez: 107-6-2 (86 KO), 1980-2005 Key Wins: Roger Mayweather (2), Rocky Lockridge, Juan La Porte, Edwin Rosario, Bazooka Limon, Jose Luis Ramirez, Meldrick Taylor, Hector Camacho, Frankie Randall (2-1), Joey Gamache, Ivan Robinson, Greg Haugen<------The Cab Driver Quote, KO Key Losses: Frankie Randall, Oscar De la Hoya (2), Willy Wise, Kostya Tszyu, Grover Wiley In his prime, there was nobody who better represented the classic Mexican style and the classic Mexican fight ethic than “El Gran Campeon Mexicano.” With brutal body work, a calculated temper and a cast-iron chin, Chavez bullied his way to dominance from the Super Featherweight division all the way up to Welterweight. Chavez’s toughest enemy was his own weakness for partying and the last couple of years of his career saw him be a shadow of his true self. Prime Chavez is of the “all-time” class and Top 5 of the last 25 years. This is why he's been my hero, and a hero to many others.

i just rewatched the chavez vs haugen fight for 100th time. haugen talked so much shit. first punch made greg lean, second made him wobble, third dropped him. taxi drivers must have been some tuff guys.

chavez sr a great fighter but his record was vastly inflated. Inflated because he kept fighting every week, no matter who it was. but you have to admit, he was great

P. Whitaker was robbed of his fight against Chavez. The Truth! there is no denial there.

Great fighter, would always have trouble with the faster/slicker type fighters but his will to win and relentlessness was great and had some of the best body punching you'll ever see.
